Hannah’s love of bagels started at a young age when every Sunday her dad would bring home fresh bagels from the local bagel shop. Since moving to Chicago, she craves quality bagels and decided to start making her own. Hannah has worked at some of Chicago’s top restaurants as a pastry chef and used to practice her bagel recipe for her fellow co-workers during staff meals. In the middle of the COVID pandemic, she started giving her bagels to more friends and family since, like most people, she had a lot of time on her hands. She soon realized she could turn this into a full fledged business!

Hannah grew up in the small town of Titusville, Florida. She began her culinary journey in high school when she had the opportunity to join the schools’ culinary program. She attended Valencia College to pursue a degree in Baking and Pastry Management. While in school, she was able to get a three-month internship in Florence Italy to fine tune her baking skills. Once she graduated, she began working for a large resort near Disney World.

She visited Chicago in the Summer of 2015 and fell in love with the city. In November of that year, she interviewed with renowned restaurants in Chicago and ended up landing a job. In three weeks, she was on her way to Chicago! It has been almost 8 years since she’s been in Chicago and she has worked for many popular and Michelin Star rated restaurants around the city such as Girl & The Goat, BOKA, and Marisol.
